Do you have any idea at all how business users use your software and what
they are trying to do? Keep it simple. Don't try to be smart on behalf of the

Microsoft at all except as fellow Word users, most of whom are just as
frustrated as you are by the Research pane.

I don't know of any way to disable it. You can avoid having it appear by
avoiding Alt+click.
